60,300 Units

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning work in process = 5,000 (units)

Units in production = 68,500 (units)

Ending work in process = 33,000 (units)

Weighted-average method

Units Transferred = Beginning work in process + Units in production - Ending work in process

= 5,000 + 68,500 - 33,000 = 40,500 (Units)

Conversion Units

Ending work in process * 60%

Conversion Units = 33,000 * 60%

19,800 (Units)

Equivalent units of production = Units Transferred + Conversion Units

= 40,500 (Units) + 19,800 (Units)

= 60,300 Units
